Horn Assembly problems of the 2009 Mazda MAZDA6

The door lock actuators go bad on this car which causes the car to believe one of the doors is open when it is not. The dome lights are driven by the door actuators sensing that a door is open, so when you are driving, the interior lights will flash on and off. Very distracting, especially at night. The lights turning on and off only happens when the car is being driven, I have not noticed it when stationary. Usually it occurs during turns and the lights stay on for a few seconds. The door actuators are a common problem on this car and has many complaints about this issue online. This has been going on for several months now. The door actuator being faulty also causes the security alarm to go off and start sounding the car's horn sporadically. The car will be parked in a driveway with nobody around through all hours of the day and it will go off. Although not a safety concern like the problem with the lights, it is still symptomatic of the malfunctioning door actuators.

2009 Mazda 6. Consumer writes in regards to various safety recalls issued for this vehicle. The consumer stated after the air bag sensor was replaced, but the airbag light remained illuminated. It was reprogrammed , but the failure recurred. The doors and windows would lock, leaving occupants trapped in the vehicle nor would the vehicle start. The horn would malfunction. The horn relay was taken out due to the horn unexpectedly sounding off. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures, but did not offer any assistance. The VIN number was invalid. Updated 08/23/2017.

Horn has activated randomly for years now, the first instance occurring on or about July, 2013. I have brought the car into the dealership many times for this. Each time they said the door latch was faulty and setting it off. I have had 3 door latches replaced with the most recent being done on 5/2015. In August 2016, the horn started activating randomly again. The dealership said that they found "codes" on the 3 door latches that were already replaced! clearly there is a defect somewhere with the door locks or its electrical components. This poses a severe safety hazard as a child can open the door lock and fall out when the vehicle is moving if the lock is not working.
